10 Things I’ll Try to Remember When I’m Overwhelmed. [List]
- Love – I will not forget to offer love to those who are overwhelmed. I will remember my roots.
- Joy – I may not be feeling it now. But I will be thankful when this valley is over and I am able to experience happiness.
- Peace – I will rest during this time and try to be easy on my heart, soul, and mind.
- Patience – Somehow, this will make me stronger. With patience and perseverance I will take it upon myself to learn the lesson of my struggle.
- Kindness – I will help others when they are feeling overwhelmed. Just as I have been helped.
- Goodness – I will make an effort to act nicely even though I may have things hitting me from every direction.
- Faith – I will trust that the Lord has a purpose and a plan for this trial. No matter how crazy it seems.
- Gentleness – Just because I am overwhelmed does not mean I have to make others suffer. I will strive to be gentle throughout the tempest.
- Grace – I will accept it of myself. I’m perfectly imperfect, and that’s perfectly okay.
- Self-control – I will try to walk my talk. It is up to me to practice the previous nine promises.
